I want to repair my oven door seal

moneybelle

My oven door seal (rubber) is broken at the bottom and dangling down.
Rather than pay £30 for a genuine replacement, or £10 for a universal kit, is there any way I can join it back together that will last for a few months??

:money:

I'm bumping it up to see if anyone can help

Bought some glue from b&q but it only lasted a month or so before coming loose again, I am going to go for the universal one and see how that goes better than forking out £30.

I'm also very interested if anyone can help on a fix with this. My seal has done the same thing and I put some superglue on it. It did work and I was very pleased with myself but now, after about three weeks its come unstuck again . Hoping someone can help, I can't see the value of £30 or even £10 for a bit of rubber !

Folks, we all want an inexpensive solution to 'rip off' service companies on these simple replacement parts. Two things to consider - the 'original' seals are so expensive because these are special reinforced thermal rubbers designed to safely accept the very high tempratures involved in oven door sealing and continuous deformation on door open / close.
Secondly be very careful using random adhesives to stick existing seals - as someone noted they won't be very effective and you need to consider the risk of adhesive flammability and, more importantly with super glue (cynoacrilate) adhesives - these can be dangerous - noting cyanide poisons could be generated in gaseous form if your using 'superglue' in an application where extreme heat is generated.
Try the universal seal if your confident at fitting things - noting some sites actually quote this universal seal as 'not suitable for all cookers' !! and some require further holes to be drilled in the appliance seal face - so be careful. Otherwise buy the pucker thing of the web or from a reliable specialist spares dealer - recognising if you fit the wrong one and any issues ensue you may find your invalidating term sof your household insurance regarding fire risk!
